The annual Waldo County General Hospital Oncology Walk & Basket Raffle was held Sunday, Oct. 18. More than 75 walkers participated.
Following the walk, the raffle tickets were drawn for baskets put together by area businesses and hospital departments.
All proceeds go to the Oncology Patient Assistance and Mammography Funds. The Oncology Patient Assistance Fund helps patients defray the cost of
cancer treatments. The Mammography Fund helps pay for mammograms and breast biopsies for patients with no insurance or
insurance with a high deductible.
The walk supports cancer patients currently undergoing treatment; honors patients who have survived cancer; and allows an opportunity to
memorialize those lost to cancer.
